Thanks
to the success
of their Genesis-1 orbiting module, Bigelow Aerospace
in Las Vegas, Nevada is receiving visitors from near and far – even off planet
apparently.
During
a recent press junket to the 50-acre Bigelow Aerospace complex, reporters were
treated to a tour of the facility, including a factory floor walkthrough. Lots
of equipment, test hardware, prototype gear, and people working to get
Genesis-2 ready for flight.
But
on close examination of a Bigelow module sitting in the shop, it looks like the
space firm has given visitation rights to some sort of alien being – caught in
this image looking out from inside a module window. Maybe this little creature
is just trying to hitch a ride back to space via a Bigelow boost?
